Gov & Administrative Law Questions & Answers
Q: i live in tennessee and i am currently on probation for a minor weed charge. can i get into trouble for smoking cbd?
Anthony Marvin Avery's answer
Yes because the CBD might place THC in your system. A Probation Officer or the Judge might require a Urinalysis which you would probably fail and violate Probation.

Forcing a child to drink beer can certainly be considered endangering the welfare of a child and can thus be a basis for the petition.

You can certainly file a petition to increase your child support, and it doesn't sound like you have anything to lose by doing so. Doesn't seem like your child support will go *down* in any case. As to your last question, maybe . . .
Give it a shot. Best of luck to you.

Bruce Alexander Minnick's answer
Each state has statutes controlling the issue of whether their citizens can or cannot record conversations of other people without informing the other parties; the federal rule is that recordings are legal if only one party consents. You should consult a Kansas lawyer.

Unclear what is happening here, such as: who issued the citation; what is the violation specified on the citation, etc. However, your smog inspector may know the answer to your questions. If there is a legal remedy you are seeking, you will need to consult with an attorney for an evaluation of your specific case.

Yes, a 17 year old is considered an adult for criminal law purposes, so your son can be prosecuted under the facts you describe. Start calling local lawyers. Good luck.

Richard Winblad's answer
If funds are with the unclaimed property division & the total value is under $10k you may be able to use their affidavit process. But keep in mind that once production begins there oil company will probably make probate a title requirement before they release royalty payments.

Charles M. Baron's answer
The poll workers cannot access the votes, and there would be no way to confirm how you voted, since all votes are anonymous. You can check ALL recorded votes by submitting a public records request to your county elections department. After a certain point in time, all of those paper ballots will become part of the public records.

Jonathan David Warner's answer
Under some circumstances, the answer is "yes" - but only with respect to child support, income taxes, criminal restitution, or Social Security overpayments. Give them a call and ask them about it - they'll at least be able to let you know to whom the debt is owed. There have been circumstances where I've been able to negotiate a release of the garnishment, based upon a debtor's financial hardship.
Consult with an attorney in your area regarding this matter.
Good luck!

Agency regulations appear in a separate repository than the statutory code. Most agencies post links to both their statutory authority and to their regulations on their website.
